On Her Dignity.

The wives of the justices of the su-
preme court have more of the feeling
of home and permanence in WASH
ington than any of the other ladies of
official circles. Some of them have
moved in society here for more than
twenty years, and they are supposed
to be well-known everywhere. One of
them in calling the other day fell into
the hands of voluble assistant, who
poured upon her u steady stream of
machine conversation. The assistant,
after rattling along for while, said to
the Justices wife:
'.Have you been here long? Is this
your first visit to Washington Don't
you like itp''
81 have been here twenty"
s'Oh! then you're resident, and
how much you must enjoy living here,
and how nice it must be for you to see
all the high officials and handsome
houses; and of course you go to the
white house on Saturday afternoons?"
The Justices wife was fast redden-
ing under this stream of misapprehen-
sions, but after the glib assistant had
asked if her husband was in business
here the Justices wife sat down her
teacup emphatically and said:
my husband has been justice of the
supreme court for twenty-five years!''
